How Did You Get Started?

A few years ago I entered a model search. It was my first taste of modeling and I did not know what to expect. Being around young, tall and beautiful ladies that were in the industry for a much longer time made me feel that I need to step up and stick out in my own way. The only aspect of myself that I had complete control over is fitness, so I started eating healthier and working out efficiently.

What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?

I combine muscle groups like legs, glutes, and abs and another day could be back, biceps, and triceps. I like to keep things simple - warm up, weights, then cardio. For my body goal (gain 5lbs of muscle and increase definition) most of my exercises include 3 sets with 10 reps each.

Then, I usually top the day off with a spring mix salad with either salmon or grilled chicken. I center my meals around chicken and fish then salads, whole grains and fruits as sides. Combine that with multi-vitamins and protein shakes post workout, will give you a great daily diet.

Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?

I'm a huge fan of the "Progress Pictures" feature. Knowing that I need to keep progressing and I have to have a better body than the photos taken previously keeps me accountable. Also, I like that there's a comprehensive forum of everything bodybuilding. Plus, it's a great way to find contests! The BodySpace feature is where I found out about a calendar contest for one the supplements I take.

Getting involved with fitness contests is a great way to add to your model resume. Other features I love - BodyBlogs, Body Statistics, and not to forget the Bodybuilding.com store! If you're looking for a community that supports the healthy and fit lifestyle you chose, then you'll feel right at home at Bodybuilding.com.
